    Mini pepperoni rolls, oreo zeppole, and garlic knots on bottom
    Bernice N.

    I first heard of Bella pizza when it was brought over to my job for a special day they were having and I found the pizza to be very good. I was told the place was located on Fordham Road and then I remembered I would see it when I would be passing by in the area.This time because I was in the area I decided to pick up a pie rather then bringing home McDonald's for dinner. Bella's is quite small but just big enough for a few people to dine for a quick bite to eat. They have a barstool counter top to eat at. The guy who took my order, was super sweet and answered everything I wanted to know about what size pies they had, the prices of the pies, if they had pie specials etc. My pizza pie was a large and came to about $21. I would say average prices. I also was surprise to see that they had zeppoles. Not your average zeppoles, but oreo zeppoles. Now I haven't had some good zeppoles since I lived in Brooklyn and to me they just don't make them in the Bronx like they do in Brooklyn, or I can't ever find them in the Bronx like I can in Brooklyn. This zeppole was different, but it was still crunchy and sweet like the zeppoles I would have in Brooklyn, and the oreo inside was throughout the whole zeppole, made it even better. It was like eating a deep fried oreo, without all the fried greasy taste. When I got home, I found out the pizza was also delicious. So good I forgot to take a picture because my family and I devoured the pizza. I think I will definitely make another visit and my Bronx residents should too.

    Supreme Pizza. Delish

    Still order from here often. The pizza is always good and fresh. For some reason ordering online with grubhub doesnt allow you to customize or add additional toppings to your pizza. You can also order garlic knots, bread pieces and garlic bread. BUT on Uber eats you can add any topping to your pizza but cant order some damn garlic knots because it's not on the menu there. Instead they have the breads and garlic bread. Recently I ordered zeppoles. It was good and had a TON OF POWDERED sugar in the bag. Lol. I'll continue to order from here. I just hope the online ordering issue is corrected.

    Veggie slice and cheese slice
    Jahmal P.

    Customer service here is good. The decor for a pizza spot in the Bronx is different. The pizza was was good I enjoyed both slices, nice sauce nice cheese. It's a go to pizza spot. I'm not the biggest fan and thin crust I'm a deep dish man myself. But i gotta say I enjoyed it, the crust was delicious think but not to thin as to turn the slice limp and soggy. I have and would try it again I do like that they have pizza varieties that you wouldn't normally find. It's good when you can differentiate yourself from just the norm.

    I just have to make an addition to my review since last posting. Bella continues to meet and exceed my expectations with their quality and professionalism. We have become regular patrons using their delivery service and all of the couriers that come to our house are respectful and prompt. Happy customers at 61 ;) My main reason though for this review is the appreciation for the order I put in on Valentine's Day for my boys. I requested a heart pepperoni pie and Hollywood and his team made it happen in a delicious way. Truly made the kids faces light up, it just might've become a Vday tradition. Thank you!!

    Cheese pizza with button smh unbelievable

    *Beware*** I never really had a great experience at this location but nothing too extreme to where I had to write a review until now. I order a plain cheese slice and I as ate it I noticed something was on the pizza that almost resembled molding so I picked at it and notice that it was a metal button with cheese on top of it on my slice. This was my last straw for this place I will never give them service again and I advice people to be careful before they ingest things that aren't edible smh.

    chimi slice
    Priscilla S.

    Bella Pizza is exactly what Fordham needs. Fordham is filled with $1 slice pizza shops that use low quality products and lack originality. I've had their grilled chicken penne al vodka, the mac & cheese slice, chimi pizza slice and garlic knots. The chicken penne al vodka is really good. The chicken is flavorful along with the pasta. The serving size is huge, this is definitely a meal that should be shared. The chimi pizza slice is a full blown meal, there are so many elements to this slice. It is layered with beef, corn, cabbage, sweet plantains, cheese, and drizzled with a sauce. The mac and cheese pizza is a great slice for cheese lovers, theres so much cheese, oh & theres bacon on the slice too.

    El vacano Dominican burger slice
    Momba d.

    This slice of pizza which the owner calls "el vacano" the Dominican burger pizza, is by far not only the most amazing slice Iv ever eaten but by far one of the best things I have ever eaten. SINGLEHANDEDLY takes the throne, no questions. It's a pizza version of a popular Dominican burger. The crust on this is thick enough to hold the massive amount of toppings on here and super crunchy. It's topped with ground beef, red cabbage, corn, SWEET PLANTAINS and the most delicious sauce. It is absolutely incredible. Run don't walk here this pizza goes down in history. BEST PIZZA SLICE IN THE BRONX!

    I've had Bella Pizza twice + had the chimi pizza both times. It has everything you enjoy in a pizza but they include Maduros which is a nice sweet taste but kind of much for my personal taste. What I love is the aesthetic inside the restaurant and the service is really up to par!

    Penne pasta

    I asked for no bacon because i am Muslim and after starting to eat it I found pieces of bacon in it this is NOT acceptable at all I said it 2-3 time no bacon I will not be ordering from here anymore

    Mmm mmm good lol
    Starleana H.

    My name is star and this was my first visit. It was supposed to be quick but instead, the great ambiance and customer service thanks to Hollywood, made me want to stay a while. I sat in a comfy homelike setting while munching on a yummy slice of chicken bacon ranch chicken.it was perfectly crunchy at first bite and deliciously melt in your mouth at first chew. Also delightfully surprising to find that it was not too greedy for a pizza especially with bacon on it. Yum!!! I'm already planning my next order of a whole pie for date night next week Definitely head to this spot for a nice hearty slice or pie and definitely see your man Hollywood about it

    The GOAT of Bronx Pizza. Period…read more If you want to know what real New York City pizza is supposed to taste like, stop looking and get to Louie & Ernie's on Crosby Ave. This isn't just a meal; it's a Bronx institution. The Vibe: Old School & Authentic This place is as "old school" as it gets. It's located in the basement of a house, and walking in feels like stepping back into 1959. There are no fancy decorations or "artisanal" gimmicks--just the smell of fresh dough and a gas oven that's probably seen more history than most museums. * Pro Tip: It is CASH ONLY. Don't be that person who gets to the counter with a card; come prepared. The Pizza: The Best in the Bronx I've had a lot of pizza, but this is easily the best in the borough. * The Crust: Paper-thin, perfectly salty, and has that signature "Bronx fold" with just the right amount of char on the bottom. * The Sausage: This is their claim to fame. They use huge, fresh chunks of sausage that are packed with flavor. It's heavy, it's greasy in the best way possible, and it's legendary. * The Sauce/Cheese: The ratio is perfection. The sauce is tangy and bright, and the mozzarella is creamy and never "rubbery." The Service The staff here are exactly what you want in a legendary neighborhood spot--friendly, fast, and no-nonsense. They keep the line moving, but they treat you like a regular even if it's your first time. Verdict: 10/10. It's simple, it's classic, and it's the king of the Bronx. If you haven't been, you're doing NYC wrong.

    Ok everyone, gather 'round…read more What we experienced last night was a game changer. Louie & Ernie's Pizza has been on many New York Pizza list for decades. When I see the Yankees in The Bronx, my go to first stop is always Arthur Avenue. I dismissed Louie & Ernie's Pizza, what if it's like Lucali with a mind numbing line? Well I'm happy to report that I pulled up to a free parking spot. The area reminds me of Queens, it's more residential so there's no parking worries. In terms of being slammed? We walked into a non assuming pizza place. Growing up in New York, it's the same style pizza place in every New York City borough. Walking into Louie & Ernie's Pizza on a Sunday afternoon, I see the TV has the Giants game on. There's the same wood paneling on the walls from the 70s, it feels like a time warp! Do the patrons realize they're enjoying pizza on Eater's The Best Pizzerias of New York City list? I walk in and see a small kitchen with the pizza guys crafting pizza. I ask the hostess do we need to be seated with menus or order here with you? I ordered two pizzas, Margarita and Clam and we all sat with our paper plates. The first pizza comes out, the Margarita pizza. Everything about this pizza is award winning. From the freshly made cheeses to the tomato sauce and thin crust, this is a real New York Pizza. It's something we all grew up enjoying. The Long Island Pizza guys with their TikToc videos and one hundred thousand followers, you're not making the same quality pizza as Louie & Ernie's Pizza. The clam pizza, my brother in law is a clam pizza fiend! I thought it was very good, there was a little heat to it so be aware if you order this pizza. After we left, this spot changed MY entire best NY pizza list. Louie & Ernie's Pizza is a travel to, pay the bridge tolls and enjoy this pizza type of place.

As one should. I ordered the Pasta al Forno, which showed up hot, cheesy, and very much not interested in being subtle. Comfort food doing the absolute most -- baked, sauced, and bubbling like it knew it was the right choice. One would think "Boiled eggs in pasta?", but trust me, the bechamel sauce takes it to the next level. Ms. J. went for the daily special: Radiatori in Cartoccio, cooked inside a sealed pocket of aluminum foil and opened tableside like a little pasta reveal. Steamy, aromatic, and frankly a bit of a showoff -- in the best possible way. And then there was the Tiramisu. We shared it (heroically), and I'm just going to say it: top-tier tiramisu. Not too sweet, beautifully balanced, rich without being heavy -- one of the best we've had in NYC, and we do not make that claim lightly. We both love tiramisu. We both judge tiramisu. This one passed with stars. Zero nonsense, big flavors, and a tradition that continues to age very well. We'll be back. Obviously. ‍

After you get situated with finding parking, better yet, take mass transit if you can, you'll find a non descript pizzeria. It's CASH ONLY ** they have ATM's inside for your convenience, which I had to use and I think the fee was 2.50$ but I'm not sure. The pizzeria slices are HUGE.-ginormous- colossal!! I thought it was going to be superficially large pizza with a horrible taste. ON THE CONTRARY - NO! The pizza was delicious and I found the salt content to be reasonable, perfectly salted. I paid 38$ for the super sized pizza. My kids devoured it, while my wife took pictures of of the kids eating their kite sized pizza slices. I highly recommend this "Bronx Style" pizzeria. The pizza is well cooked, medium to thin sized pizza and the ratio of cheese to tomato sauce is distributed evenly with a slightly cheesier taste than tomato.

But the fact of the matter is the quality of the cheese and dough is not up to par. The pizza resonates of low quality mozzarella cheese and poor quality bread. I've been eating here on and off for many years and the quality of the product has deteriorated. I would not recommend this place to anyone unless they wanted to "try that place that they heard of on social media or from a friend who ate here 20 years ago. it's just not worth it. They are better pizza places in the Bronx (Circle, Yankee Pizza, Ernie's, Tony's on Throggs Neck, Pugsley Pizza)z If the owner were able to improve on the pizza by incorporating better quality ingredients, I would definitely give it a shot again. I wouldn't even mind if they charged seven dollars a slice for that mammoth slice because it is very very big. But in its current incarnation, I would have to pass on a second round. It's just not worth the money because the taste and quality of the slice is so poor. What happened?!??
